JustEncrypt

This package is being tested against the following NodeJS versions;

• 0.11
• 0.12
• 5.11
• 6.3.0
• 7.1.0

Usage

All functions return promises to make it easy to automatically use webworkers or WebCrypto API in browsers that support it!

KeyDerivation

// iterations is optional and defaults to 35k iterations
justencrypt.KeyDerivation.compute(new Buffer(rawPassword, 'utf8'), saltBuffer, iterations)
    .then(function(keyBuffer) {
        console.log(keyBuffer.toString('base64'));
    });

Encryption

The result of encrypt is encoded as iter || saltLen8 || salt || iv || tag || ct,
when this is fed into decrypt it will be able decode the salt and iterations used.

// iterations is optional and defaults to 35k iterations
justencrypt.Encryption.encrypt(new Buffer(rawPassword, 'utf8'), dataBuffer, iterations)
    .then(function(encryptedBuffer) {
        console.log(encryptedBuffer.toString('base64'));
    });
 
justencrypt.Encryption.decrypt(encryptedBuffer, new Buffer(rawPassword, 'utf8'))
    .then(function(decryptedDataBuffer) {
        console.log(decryptedDataBuffer.toString('base64'));
    });

EncryptionMnemonic

To make the result of encrypt human readable (so it is easier to write down) it's possible to encode it as an mnemonic.
Use the justencrypt-mnemonic package for this!

Choosing iterations

The default iterations is justencrypt.KeyDerivation.defaultIterations and is set to 35000, this is a number that should remain secure enough for a while when using a password.
If you don't pass in the iterations argument it will default to this.

If you're encrypting with a random byte string used as password then you can use the same code, except in that case setting the iterations to 1 is secure as there's no need to stretch the password.
You can use justencrypt.KeyDerivation.subkeyIterations in that case to make it clear what your intentions are.

Development / Contributing

You should have mocha, istanbul and grunt-cli installed globally, if not run npm install -g mocha instanbul grunt-cli.
Also recommended to have phantomjs >= 1.9.8 on $PATH to speed up the asmcrypto.js build; https//github.com/Medium/phantomjs/releases/download/v1.9.19/phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

Unit Tests are created with Mocha and can be ran with npm test (or mocha)

We also run jshint and jscs, these are automatically ran by travis-ci for every commit and pull request.

jshint main.js lib/ test/ && jscs main.js lib/ test/

or simply npm run-script lint

Uglify

If you're planning to uglify/minify the javascript yourself, make sure to exclude the following variable names from being mangled:
['Buffer', 'sha512_asm', 'asm']
